The minute I opened my box of Jenni goodies, I was inspired to create a home decor piece...something that I could easily sit on a shelf to celebrate fall.I started the project by covering the spool bases with the mini bingo cards...
One of my most favorite Jenni products is her mini patterned papers. The small patterns are just what we need for creating smaller stamped art. I knew immediately that the mini houndstooth paper would make the perfect leaves & that I could stamp on the papers to create flowers. The mini chipboard butterflies, buttons and vellum butterflies were the finishing touch.
I decided to salvage portions of the packaging to create custom embellishments. The words "vintage style" and "buttons" were exactly what the piece needed.
I inked & stamped the mini chipboard butterflies...
I used the bingo card package insert (with the mini bingo card) to make a perfectly coordinated really mini embellishment...
Here's a closer look @ the flowers with the button centers...Here's the Jenni Bowlin products I used... Family Tree mini papers,Mini Bingo Cards, Black Vintage sew-on Buttons, Black & RedVellum Butterflies, Plain Chipboard Butterflies
and don't forget to repurpose the packaging... it's way too cute to toss in the trash!
